In a few hours you will hear your friends and family say the following, “New year, New me” at nauseam. Some people actually mean it while others are all talk. This brings me to the story of Joe Anderson.
Anderson is a football player who was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2012 and found himself on no roster this season. Like many of us struggling to reach our dreams he was jobless. About eight weeks ago he stood outside the practice facility of the Houston Texans with this cardboard sign. The sign read, “Not homeless… but STARVING for success!!! Will run routes 4 food. #Whateverittakes #Underdog #Ibelieve #Hungry.”
His unconventional way of getting the attention of teams worked because about six weeks later he was offered a spot on the New York Jets practice squad! Okay, I understand it isn’t a starting position but its something. In the times that we are living in you have to find different methods to get your way in the door.
Now with 2016 coming literally today I urge you to try unorthodox ways to reach your goals. Anderson shows us if there is a will there is a way. If you have a creative way that you reached your plans please share them below. With that being said, HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MUCH SUCCESS TO YOU!
